Porsche GB will once again be supporting both series with prize drives in the 2008 Porsche Carrera Cup going to leading drivers.

Changes for 2007 include the introduction of a new class to the Porsche Club Championship, which will be for 911, 912 and 356 models built to Historic Regulations (FIA Appendix K). In the Porsche Open, changes have been made to the technical regulations in Class Two to enable drivers of early 911 GT3 specification cars to modify their vehicles, including re-mapping the engine, to compete with later model GT3s.
